[Intro]
Late night thoughts, heavy on my mind
Trying to find the strength I couldn't find
A father's pain, a son's new age
Battle scars written on my face, yeah
[Verse 1]
Thursday was rough, the day was long
Missed the call, missed the song
Baby boy, you turned twelve today
Still in my heart, I could never stray
Mini-me, growing tall and proud
Fighting for you through the crowd
Twelve years, a warrior’s stand
Still trying to be a better man
[Pre-Chorus]
But yesterday, shadows came to play
People hurting, trust betrayed
Trying to poison, trying to break
But deep inside, I won't forsake
[Chorus]
Rising from the pain, I won't give in
Fighting for my soul, I got so much to win
Lost some trust, but I found my ground
In this fight for love, I’m still around
[Verse 2]
Bible study, tears in my eyes
Helping others, hearing their cries
They took my money, broke my trust
Left with scars that turn to dust
Hovering over, feeling alone
Searching truth, deeper than stones
PTSD, haunt my mind
But I keep hope, I keep trying
[Pre-Chorus]
Yesterday's pain, tomorrow's hope
Cling to faith, learn to cope
Though I feel like giving up, I see
There's strength inside of me
[Chorus]
Rising from the pain, I won't give in
Fighting for my soul, I got so much to win
Lost some trust, but I found my ground
In this fight for love, I’m still around
[Bridge]
Every scar tells a story, every tear a victory
Though the nights are long, I find my light in me
Standing tall through the rain, I’ll fight through the pain
This is my life, I won't refrain
[Outro]
Yeah, I’m still here, still fighting strong
Holding on, where I belong
For my son, for my soul, for my own peace
In this chaos, I find my release
